    Since the “they” modifies the church, that means the church is sinful? Agreed. In that case, what…Christians support the paedophiles, not the paedophilia?

      If a paedophile is demonstrating repentance and wanting to turn away from paedophilia, then yes, we should forgive and support them in not practicing paedophilia.

        Apologies for playing grammar games, but I will absolutely condemn your bigoted ideas.

        The church, as with most people, does not separate people from their sexuality. The phrase “love the sinner, hate the sin” is disingenuous at best, allowing hatred to continue, but with the thin veneer of civility that makes the bigots feel comfortable in their smug judgement. That is 100% garbage and you and I both know this.

        Stop defending inhumane institutions and be a better person.

              This was in the BCs and it does not apply anymore

              “Moral” and “Good” standards change every year

              in 20 years, the best person you know could be absolute evil

            Repeating the lie does not make it true. I’ve seen Christian “love” in action. Much of the time it is two-faced, disingenuous, and conditional. Not all Christians are like this of course, but enough are that it’s become a standard.

            Perhaps you are a good person who just happens to swallow the lies of religion. I know people like that as well - people who are good not because of their religious upbringing but in spite of it. I hope some day you realise you have it within you to be more moral, kind, and accepting than the religious organisation you follow. And to do it without them.

      we are all sinners

      and the Church supports EVERYBODY not their sins

      If Adolf Hitler walked into the Church, he would be allowed to confess his sins and become a Catchumen
